How does Israel’s blockade shape life for Palestinians in Gaza? A crumbling healthcare system, constant power outages, and the constant buzz of drones overhead. Activists are calling on the US to #DefundGazaBlockade and Instead fund #HealthCareForAll
Palestinians in occupied Gaza are battling the spread of Covid-19 with scarce resources as a result of Israel's suffocating blockade. This means even water for drinking and washing hands is not readily accessible. facebook.com/theIMEU/photos…
Power shortages, no clean drinking water, and hospitals with no room left for patients. That’s the status of the occupied Gaza Strip, which for 12+ years has been under constant Israeli siege, meaning little gets in or out.
Almost 70% of Gaza’s population are refugees. This means they or their descendants were forcibly expelled from their homes in 1948 by Zionist militias. Many of these refugees live within walking distance of their old homes. independent.co.uk/news/long_read…
When Palestinians protest against the occupation and siege of their land, they are met with Israeli snipers who deliberately target children, medics, and journalists. electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abun…
Activists are calling on the US to #DefundGazaBlockade which imposes these conditions on Palestinians in occupied Gaza. Instead, these funds can and should go towards fighting for #healthcareforAll.
It’s long past time to prioritize funding healthcare over the military war machine at home and abroad. #DefundGazaBlockade #HealthcareforAll
